10 biggest questions we have for Wednesday season 2 on Netflix

So you spent this past Wednesday watching Netflix’s Wednesday,A program about Wednesday Addams the teenage daughter the Addams families.

Wednesday (the show, not the girl) whisks Wednesday (the girl, not the show) away to a funky goth boarding school for “outcasts” where she gets embroiled in a lotOf plot. From an old murder her parents were involved in to some freaky deaths happening around the small town of Jericho, Vermont, and from a love triangle and high school cliques to tension between “outcasts” and “normies,” Wednesday This eight-part first season of (the show, and not the girl), packs a lot into its eight episodes.

There are still a few unanswered questions and loose ends that could lead to a second season.

[Ed. note: This post contains major spoilers for Netflix’s Wednesday.]

Why aren’t Morticia and Wednesday getting along?

Right now Wednesday We learn Wednesday’s mother Morticia (Catherine Zeta Jones) is in the house. It is notBeing a good friend. It could be a simple teenage rebellion. Wednesday doesn’t want to be like her mother! But there’s also a smidge of internalized misogyny in there too — Wednesday doesn’t want to be like her mother, because her mother is a mother and a housewife who is very in love with her husband. If you think Morticia Adams is the embodiment of traditional femininity and goth queen Morticia, then I have many questions.

In the middle of season Morticia, Wednesday and their relationship are in a tentative but still fragile place. But their fractured relationship is one of the many, many plot points this first season deals with, especially because it’s also tied to the mysterious murder that Morticia and Gomez were involved in when they were teenagers.

What is this cult that Bianca’s mom is part of?

Bianca is a siren playing Joy Sunday and one of the most interesting characters, both from an artistic standpoint as well as a world-building perspective. She’s the school’s queen bee and fencing champion, and she has really cool white-blue glowy eyes. Also, we find out that sirens can compel people to do their bidding, though that doesn’t really get super explored (because the show explores a lot of things). What we do know about Bianca’s siren powers is that her ex-boyfriend Xavier (Percy Hynes White) thinks she used them on him.

Bianca also ran from her home because her mother is a leader of a cult who would like to harness their siren abilities to recruit more people. The cult is disguised as a self-help application, but really it’s designed to con people out of their money. Bianca is able to persuade her mother to let her complete the school year in her place. This only really features in one episode, but it’s such a meaty plot point that we’re sure to see it crop up in a hypothetical season 2. You can’t just mention a cult disguised as a self-help app and then sweep it under the rug!

Who is Xavier’s dad?

Bianca’s ex-boyfriend and one of the points of Wednesday’s love triangle is tortured artist Xavier Thorpe, whose power involves making his drawings come to life. His father, a famed stage magician and psychic, appears to have had a. Lot of Daddy Issues™. He doesn’t like it when people compare him to his dad, but also he constantly talks about his dad. Considering Daddy Thorpe’s fame, it is likely he’ll make an actual appearance down the line.

Will Tyler come back?

Love triangles are the best! Others love interest, namely softboy barista Tyler (Hunter Doohan) — objectively the better love interest — turned out to actually be a murderous creature known as a Hyde! Tyler was also known as the Hyde and responsible for many of the strange deaths that took place in town. He was technically being controlled by Marilyn Thornhill, Christina Ricci’s descendant of the Jericho fanatical pilgrim. So… is there some good in Tyler, or has he been totally brainwashed?

We last saw him being taken to psychiatric services. So he’s not dead. Did he really feel that Wednesday was a lie since the beginning? These were adorable! Will we find out more about his mother mysterious? Tyler is not at his best, so it’s a mistake to ignore him.

Who’s stalking Wednesday?

A mysterious envelope with photos of Wednesday is found in the closing scenes of Season 1. It’s left by someone who is still out there, who could still take a picture of her on the last day of school (they all got to go home because of the #tragedy that happened), and who has a weird vendetta against her. Is it someone we’ve already met in the show, or is it a new character? To find out, we will need to wait.

What the hell is Gomez’s outcast ability?

So, all students of Nevermore Academy are outcasts, which we know because Marilyn Thornhill being the first normie in the school’s hallowed halls was a big deal. Many outcasts end up as familiar fantasy creatures, such as vampires or werewolves. Except when they have more idiosyncratic powers, like Wednesday and Morticia’s psychic abilities or Xavier’s art thing.

As a former Nevermore student, Gomez (Luis Guzmán) must’ve had some sort of power. We never discover what this power is. It’s something we will explore further down the road. The Addams family themselves didn’t really appear much in the show, so there’s a lot to dig into later.

What was Edgar Allan Poe’s outcast ability?

One of Nevermore’s most acclaimed alumnus was author Edgar Allan Poe. Poe was a Nevermore student and an alumni. Ich would like to learn more.

Is there anything that makes an outsider?

Great question! We never find out, despite the season’s focus on tension between normie-outcasts. Is it just magic? But then what about Wednesday, who didn’t tell anyone she had powers when she enrolled? You don’t have to wear black and love the macabre. What about Enid, a plucky waswolf (Emma Myers), whose love of all things sparkly and pink is what you need? How do you describe it? IsWhich criteria should you consider?

It’s one thing to leave it deliberately vague for school hijinks, but when the whole crux of the plot depends on what makes a normie and what makes an outcast, it would make more sense to have those definitions clear.

How does the rest think about vampires, werewolves, and other such things?

Are outcasts just a problem in Jericho? Xavier’s dad is a well-known magician, so surely some people like outcasts. We’ll see just how far this prejudice extends.

Is there a place where the Addams family lives?

This is mainly because they live in Central Park in Broadway’s musical, and it makes me laugh.
